Partnerships & Outreach Internship

About GrowUpWise

GrowUpWise is a life-skills platform helping children develop emotional intelligence, financial literacy, verbal intelligence, critical thinking, communication and digital skills. We are actively building partnerships with practitioners, educators, and child-development experts who directly work with children and parents.

The Role

Your mission is simple: find the right experts, start meaningful conversations, and schedule qualified appointments with our founder.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify & Research: Build a targeted pipeline of child psychologists, parenting experts, school leaders, educators and life-skills trainers.
• Personalized Outreach: Connect with prospects via LinkedIn, other professional networks, email or other appropriate outreach. No spam or mass templates—we value thoughtful, tailored communication.
• Manage the Pipeline: Track responses, follow up professionally, and handle objections.
• Drive Outcomes: Successfully schedule and confirm meetings, optimizing your messaging based on what converts.

Who We Are Looking For

• A proactive hustler who is completely comfortable approaching strangers.
• Excellent written communicator with a knack for persuasive, professional outreach.
• Organized, reliable, and unfazed by rejection.

Qualifications

• Bonus: Past experience in sales, BD, Rotaract, partnerships, or community building.

Expect ownership, experimentation, and ambiguity - not a conventional, highly structured internship.

If you're primarily looking for a certificate, this probably isn't the right opportunity.

What You Will Gain

• Hands-on startup BD and partnership experience.
• Direct mentorship from the founder and a tangible achievement for your CV.
• An internship certificate and a potential long-term role based on performance and company growth.

Note: Shortlisted candidates will complete a brief practical outreach exercise before final selection.
